As usual we had another nice short vacation at the Sandpiper Motel. The negatives that I can say are: In the bathroom, the toilet seat kept coming off and shower rod was rusted on the sides. The parking is the worst for this motel. My pick up was banged and the paint is gone from the person who parked next to me. My vehicle cannot fit in every space that they have. I was afraid to drive anywhere and lose my spot. As for everything else, it is wonderful. The three beds, the kitchen, the two tv's all great. The pool was nice. Sleeping has been quiet whenever we stay there. There was a guest who didn't use the best of language to her children/grandchildren. That is always annoying but we tried to ignore them.

Hello Denise,

I recognized your screen name on your review and was consequently able to locate the elusive “broken toilet seat.” We didn’t realize the lid of the seat slid off if someone moved around on it. It was something you would not notice while cleaning. I wish you had reported it to the office. Bill would have replaced it. ; )

Looking forward to seeing you next year! Kathy

My name is Mary Love. My husband, grandson,and myself just spent four days and three nights at the Sandpiper Motel in North Wildwood, NJ. We have been going there for the last three years. We always have a great time. The motel is very comfortable and extremely clean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We will certainly go back again next summer!

MY husband and I have been staying at the Sandpiper for years,we love it ! It's very clean ,most of all, the bathroom is kept up and very clean too.Kathy, the owner and her husband are always friendly ,making sure everyone's visit is a happy one .The decks are very nice to sit out, they have tables ,very nice view.The pool has always been kept up and crystal clear, You always see someone cleaning with smiles and greeting you. Its one short block from the beach and the start of the board walk.WE have stayed at other motels because the Sandpiper was full and we ended up crying ,no one else had clean rooms and caring staff,it was horrible ...so we make sure and tell all our friends to come to the Sandpiper and BE HAPPY!!! BOOK EARLY!!!SEE YOU THERE!!

Please be aware when booking this hotel. The website was very, very deceiving. I have lived and learned one thing, you must examine and personally inspect and view any hotel before booking same. There were only 14 reviews. i need a vacation after my "vacation." The room was very small and it was not easy accomdating my wife and 2 children. The room was old, antiquated and in need of renovations and updates!! The sheets were never changed, the bahroom was fit only for a midget or a person that was 4 ft tall and weighed less than 100 lbs. What a joke!! Inm addition there was rust in the bathroom with a broken toilet. The pool was murky and dirty!! Thiis place was a dump and I wish I could have received a refund. Finally, it was like a welfare motel, the guests were drrinking in the pool area and outside there room and looked and appeared very dirty. There was a child, less then 10 years old who was walking around unattended and even tried to come into our room!! it was scary. This place should be closed and condemened!!

The Wildwoods are proudly preserving the Doo-Wop style motels such as ours. These motels were built in the early 50’s and 60’s and have similar interior layouts. It is unfortunate that you were dissatisfied with its design. Many guests love the nostalgia. So much so, they return year after year. We have renovated the interior with new furniture, beds, bedding, curtains tile and so on. It is unethical to build a business on deception. Interior pictures are posted on our website. What you see is what you get.

For the sake of future generations, we are pleased to say that we practice water conservation. If our room attendant sees you have soiled your linens, she changes them as needed. If you stay longer then 7 nights, we do a complete linen change. We would never expect anyone to sleep on dirty bedding. Upon check-in, we ask our guests to let us know if they need anything during their stay. It is a shame that you didn’t complain to us directly. Perhaps we could have made you more comfortable.

Our pool passes a weekly County inspection and is vacuumed daily.

As far as we are concerned, our guests are some on the best on the island! They are down to earth, respectful and family oriented. Trash our motel if you must, but please be respectful when it comes to our guests.

The staff were pleasant, but not helpful enough. When I reported that the washing machine destroyed my white wash ruined with rust, reply was probably it is not used a lot, and the other staff had no response. It was a nightmare because I tried to wash at a local laundry mat to get the stains out, washing through three times and still not good enough. When i returned to get laundry from dryer clothes were missing. UNBELIEVABLE. In the bathroom, the toilet seat kept coming off and shower rod was rusted. Fan was dirty as well as curtains on bedroom window. The airconditioner was so loud that u couldn't hear the tv. sheets were not changed at all during our week stay. the pool wasn't crystal clear and the stairs to second floor were difficult to climb. there was a guest who wouldn't leave us alone despite our request. there was no adult supervision for this little boy who was taking other children's toys and playing with them without their knowledge. we feel like we need a vacation.......

Our staff is unaware of the problems you described. Had you voiced your concerns directly to the office, perhaps we would have been able to help you.

We take pride in our motel and I was shocked to read that your fan and curtains were dirty. I immediately did a complete inspection of all the rooms and found everything to be in fine order.

In the future, please go to the office of the motel where you are staying and tell them if there is a problem. The motel industry is a “hospitality” business and their goal is to make guests as comfortable as possible.

Thank you. Kathy, Owner/Manager
